this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm. extreme right—wing terrorist ideology was behind the firebombing of a migrant processing centre in dover last sunday, say the police. a �*disturbance�* at a london immigration removalfacility during a power outage — with reports suggesting it was caused by the detainees. and, disruption on the railways, despite a series of strikes being called off by the unions. good evening. police say the firebombing of a migrant

processing centre in dover last sunday was motivated by an extreme right—wing terrorist ideology. 66—year—old andrew leak from buckinghamshire threw up to three devices at the site. he is believed to have later taken his own life. the government has been facing widespread criticism for its handling of overcrowding at an immigration centre nearby. a group of detainees at a west london immigration centre caused a "disturbance" during a power cut on friday night. police and extra staff from the prison service arrived at harmondsworth detention centre near heathrow airport this morning. the home office said nobody had been injured and that the welfare of the people there was the top priority. earlier i spoke to to william neal — who's a detention outreach caseworker at the jesuit refugee service — visiting and supporting asylum seekers at harmondsworth. so essentially what we have are large institutions holding quite a large number of men. so at harmondsworth over

600 men in what is most easily described as prisonlike conditions. that is the kind of image that these centres are. and the mood in those centres, what is that like? it can vary very greatly. i know from following the protest last night, of the mood probably today is one where there is lots of fear, lots of anxiety, but in my experience, an overwhelming feeling of stress. you are holding individuals who don't really have a sense of control over their own future. they are very much at the hands of the government, of the home office, and they have no real way of taking any of that control back. it is a great deal of stress. when there are 600 people who are under those stressful conditions, that gathers. there are times where things do

rise up and that stress increases. especially when there are greater pressures on the system, i think that there definitely is likely a knock—on effect. passengers have faced "significant disruption" on the railways, despite strike action being called off late yesterday. tens of thousands of rail workers had been due to walk out in the long—running dispute over pay and working conditions. strikes planned for monday and wednesday have also been cancelled — as negotiations between the rmt union and train operators continue. our correspondent, luxmy gopal, is at leeds station tonight strike action was called off, but network rail say it was too late for full timetable to be reinstated in that time. and so here in leeds, like many other places, there are many cancellations and today there were no services at all running from here in leeds to london, manchester, nottingham, hull and other more local stations as well. there are some, as you can

probably see behind me, there are still some trains around and there are some passengers heading to board their trains because there are trains coming and going, but services are severely limited and the last trains for various destinations are departing within the next couple of hours. and by about 6:30pm this evening, there will be little movement here because for many of them, the last trains in and out of the station will be by 6:30pm at the latest. now, the passengers i spoke to here today, some of them weren't aware of the impact on their services today and had turned up expecting to board a train and they couldn't. the passengers i spoke to who were aware of the strike action that had been scheduled for today, many of them were sympathetic with the cause. and, of course, as we know, this is part of the long running dispute overjobs and pay and conditions at the rmt. now, the rmt said that what it was doing was entering a period of intensive negotiations with network, rail and train operators. and this is actually the first time

in their long running dispute that strike action has been called off. the advice from, well, many of the operators, as you can see, most of the trains here, northern trains, northern rail say passengers should not travel at all unless absolutely necessary. and that is the wider advice as well from network rail who are advising you not to travel unless necessary and if you do have to travel to check before you do so. the impact of the disruption will continue on monday when there was due to be strike action and wednesday there was also due to be strike action. but network rail are hopeful that they can get a timetable running in time for services to be able to operate on wednesday. a russian—backed judge in occupied ukraine who sentenced two british men to death has been shot and badly injured. it appears to have been an assassination attempt. the britons, who were captured while fighting in the ukrainian army, were later released by russia. our europe regional editor paul moss gave me the details he had presided, yes, over the supreme court there. and as you said, particularly

notorious here in britain because of sentencing to death shaun pinner and aiden aslin, as well as a moroccan who was fighting alongside them, saaudun brahim, they weren't in the end sentenced. they weren't in the end shot or hanged. but when he passed the sentence, he said their crimes merited it. they were terrorists, they were mercenaries. he was working, he said, on unshakeable principles ofjustice. so very clearly at the heart of the russian backed administration in eastern ukraine. and this isn't the first time that someone working for the russian backed administration has been attacked. not at all. i mean, there have been about 20 attacks on officials, on elected representatives, a policeman and now a judge. and there have been attacks in a variety of ways. some have been shot. some would have been blown up. one was got by a car bomb and one was poisoned by his own chef. now, we don't know how many of these were successful assassination attempts simply because some of these people sort of faded from view afterwards. but we know that some have died. for example, the deputy mayor of kherson was shot dead. and so there is some death toll

in these operations continue. they seem to have picked up in the last few months in particular. and when it comes to the judge, do we know who's responsible at all? we don't know who's responsible for this or indeed for any of the attacks. i should say some people have suggested that this could be nothing to do with the invasion, that some of these are about gangsters, local business rivalries. but... talking about ukrainians operating behind enemy lines, attacking the russian invaders, but also seeking to attack anyone who works with them. the russian backed authorities there have blamed ukrainian government and they've said they're terrorists. ukraine's government, kyiv, has not taken responsibility for any of these attacks. i should say there's a good reason why they wouldn't. any attack like this would actually constitute a war crime. under the geneva convention, you're not allowed to send assassins to kill civilians, even if they're working with an occupying army. at the same time, the government in kyiv is not sort of shedding

crocodile tears about the people who've been attacked, and it's called the people who did it, not terrorists, but partisans, it says, is investigating about 1500 ukrainians who have worked with the russian backed authorities who could be charged with treason if and when ukraine is fully retaken by the ukrainian authorities. next on the bbc news channel, the teatime bulletin.

good afternoon. the firebombing of an immigration processing centre in kent was motivated by extreme right—wing ideology — and met the threshold for a terror incident, police have said. 66 year old andrew leak carried out the attack at the site in dover last sunday — two members of staff at the centre were left with minor injuries. he is believed to have later taken his own life. jon donnison has the latest. an act of terror, this is the moment andrew leak through one of up to three makeshift firebombs in a drive—by attack on a migrant processing centre in dover last sunday. today police said he was motivated by terrorist ideology and in a statement the senior national coordinator for counterterrorism policing said...

the suspect leak is thought to have taken his own life shortly after the attack which police say was likely motivated by extreme right wing beliefs. it led to around 700 migrants being transferred from the dover processing centre to this one at manston which was already overcrowded. the home secretary flew into manston on thursday but suella braverman is facing a possible legal challenge over detention conditions there. the day after last weekend's firebomb attack in dover that she told mps that britain was facing an invasion of illegal migrants. we have to be _ invasion of illegal migrants. - have to be really, really careful about the words that we use and the rhetoric when we talk about anything to do with migration, it is really dangerous and i think that type of language is an absolute trigger for

the acts we have seen down in dover. the government says the real problem is the number of migrants continuing to cross the channel. and that fixing an asylum system which is described as broken is a first order priority. jon donnison, bbc news. rail passengers have been facing severe disruption today, despite strike action being called off. tens of thousands of rail workers had been due to walk out in the long—running dispute over pay and working conditions. strikes planned for monday and wednesday have also been cancelled — as negotiations between the rmt union and train operators are stepped up. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. no strike, no picket line, but no trains either. today's walk—out was called off with such little notice that rail operators say it was too late to run trains they'd already cancelled. it's left passengers feeling frustrated and confused. we were hoping the strike wasn't going to affect the trains when we heard it was called off,

and now we are hoping for the best. we wanted to go to barnsley but nowt doing, no trains at all. fans attending the wales rugby union match against new zealand faced travel disruption. i expect it will be a slowjourney home. i don't think it will be pretty. we knew the trains stopped at five o'clock so we made the decision to drive in and book a hotel. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% or so of services are running across england, scotland and wales. those which did started much later this morning and will finish by the early evening. thousands of members of the rmt union at 14 rail companies and network rail have been involved in this long—running dispute about pay, jobs, and terms and conditions. the rmt says its previous strikes have helped the rail companies to "see sense" and it says it is now looking forward to intensive negotiations where it says it is finally expecting to be made a pay offer to put to its membership. but make no mistake, this is a big shift for the union.

it's the first time it's called off a shift to negotiate in six months of industrial action. there is a whole range of issues. it's cost them a lot of money in striking until now, and they will never get it back, even with a big pay rise. christmas is coming, energy costs, family pressures, all those things will come into play. maybe there is also a bit of a desire to find a way out of this and an off ramp. network rail has made a pay offer of 8% over two years. it welcomed new talks, as did the rail operators, saying progress is being made. the new rail minister huw merriman said he wants to work positively and constructively with all the unions and he is ruling nothing out in the search for a solution. the mood music might be changing but for passengers the cancellation of further strikes on monday and wednesday is too late to avoid further disruption. marc ashdown, bbc news. sinn fein�*s michelle o'neill, speaking at her party's annual conference, has accused the democratic unionist party of blocking the formation of a government to prevent

a nationalist from becoming first minister. sinn fein became the largest party at stormont for the first time, after an election in may. it meant ms o'neill was entitled to become northern ireland's first minister. the dup says it is refusing to enter into power—sharing until its complaints about post—brexit trade rules are addressed. candlelight vigils have taken place in south korea to remember the victims of last week's deadly crush — that killed 156 people. the disaster in the capital, seoul, a week ago during halloween celebrations has caused growing public anger. mourners, many holding placards and white candles, gathered in the city to demand justice. our correspondent nick marsh has the story. this city is still in shock. after one of the most terrible weeks in recent memory, adults came together to mourn the young. but the air is also thick with blame.

"our children have been sacrificed," this woman says. "i need to mourn. "the korean government has not done a good job. "we want them to truly say sorry and we want "the president to resign." last weekend, 156, mostly young people, went out, and didn't come back. it was supposed to be a fun halloween night out, the first without covid restrictions, but the authorities had made no plans for crowd control. this lone officer stumbled across the crush by chance. you can see him caught amongst the vast tide of bodies, desperately trying to divert them to safety. when i spoke to him a few days later, he was consumed by guilt. translation: i wasn't able to do my duty as a korean police officer. - if somehow there is a way to meet

the bereaved families i would like to express our apologies to them. please pray for them. emotions are running high in south korea. yesterday, a victim's mother tore down the floral wreath that had been laid by the president. today's gatherings may have been called vigils but really they were protests. over this past week the grief and shock has turned to anger and a demand for answers as to what could possibly have happened to allow such a tragedy on saturday night. the people who are gathered here are mainly supporters of the main political opposition but throughout south korea there is the perception that a young generation has been let down by the authorities yet again.

the last time south korea saw a loss of life this atrocious was in 2014 when more than 300 mainly schoolchildren died in a ferry disaster. that eventually brought down the then president after a series of weekly protests. the people here say they will be back next saturday. nick marsh, bbc news, seoul. england's women will face the rugby world cup hosts and holders, new zealand, in the final next saturday. they saw off canada, winning 26—19 in the semifinals. here'sjo currie. excited and expectant, england supporters turning out in auckland, hoping for a straightforward route to the final. with an amateur canada side standing in their way, confidence was high. # rugby�*s coming home.# england are the number one side in the world. they haven't lost a match now in over three years. victory is something their fans have become accustomed to.

something all of their opponents have become accustomed to is england's line—outs and driving maul. and once again, it proved unstoppable as marlie packer powered her way over the line. after england scored again, canada could have been forgiven for letting their heads drop. instead, they showed their grit and pace. commentator: oh, how about that? as england's dominance weakened, canada's confidence grew, finding a gap to pull themselves right back into the game before the break. but after the restart, a moment of magic. from behind their own try line claudia macdonald made a break and found abby dow. from there it was pure box office. the winger turning on the afterburners to power away. commentator: that's a screamer! dow showing exactly why her team—mates call her "abby wow." canada dotted down once more, but the game belonged to england. the relief evident at the final whistle as their place in the world cup final was confirmed. jo currie, bbc news, auckland. that's it. we're back with the late news at ten past ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news. sinn fein�*s michelle o'neill has accused the democratic unionist party of using the brexit agreement as a "cover" to thwart democracy in northern ireland. her party became the biggest at stormont after an election in may, meaning ms o'neill is entitled to be first minister. but the dup have refused to enter into power—sharing until its complaints about post—brexit trade rules are addressed. our ireland correspondent emma vardy told us more. northern ireland is in the grip of this political crisis at the moment. people have no government at stormont, no politicians in power, no ministers there to take important decisions which matter for public services.

why is this happening? in may at the stormont elections, sinn fein for the first time in the history became the largest party, an historic moment for them, the first time a nationalist party had become the largest party in northern ireland. but they didn't get to take up the first minister role, that is because the dup has been blocking the formation of a new power—sharing executive because of their deep opposition to the new brexit trading arrangements which have created a new border in the irish sea which unionists see as undermining main northern ireland's very place in the uk. that is preventing sinn fein�*s michelle o'neill from taking office in the first minister role. she was venting her frustration about the situation today.

she made an accusation at the dup saying the dup was punishing people by leaving people in limbo without a government, and she said she thought it was a dup didn't want to go back into government because they couldn't swallow serving as a deputy first minister alongside a nationalist. she said they were using brexit as political cover for the real reason being theyjust couldn't stomach serving alongside her. the dup denies this, it says yes, it is ready to go back into a power—sharing executive and accepts the mandate that was given by voters at the ballot box but it says it will not step back into stormont while it has these big problems with the brexit arrangements, which it says are causing problems for businesses because it is more difficult to get goods from britain to northern ireland. michelle o'neill�*s messages going down well with sinn fein�*s supporters here. she was really attacking the dup today as you would expect at a sinn fein conference. not only a sinn fein having that electoral success in northern ireland but in the republic of ireland as well, sinn fein�*s polling has been strong.

they could become the largest party in the republic of ireland does well at the next island elections. for the party's ultimate goal, which is to have a border poll, a referendum on whether northern ireland should leave the uk and became a united ireland, they feel the momentum is with them so they are optimistic today. the us climate envoy, john kerry, is calling on richer countries to "step up" and provide money to help developing nations reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. speaking to the bbc on the eve of the cop—27 climate conference in egypt, mr kerry praised the development of renewable sources of energy, but said the war in ukraine and the cost of living crisis had slowed progress. is there loss? is there damage in places in the world? yes, i mean, you'd be an idiot if you didn't acknowledge the challenges we face. and obviously those countries with greater means across the board,

and that includes some developing countries who have greater means, need to also step up and help in this transition. but we don't view it, and we are not going to view it as compensation, we are going to view it as our efforts to try to help countries be able to adapt, be able to become more resilient, and obviously to address the challenges that they face as a result of some of the losses and damages. tessa khan is the founder and director of uplift, which campaigns against the use of fossil fuels in the uk. she welcomed mr kerry's admission of developed countries' obligations to poorer nations. i certainly think that it is a very welcome acknowledgement that there is a responsibility on the part of developed countries like the us, the uk to provide financial support, which they have promised for more than a decade, to developing countries to make sure that they transition away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible which are the drivers of climate change and to renewable energy sources.

actually, countries like the uk absolutely have to deliver on that funding, it is difficult to think that we have the credibility to encourage developing countries to forego the development of their domestic oil and gas reserves when in the uk and in the us we have governments that are actively encouraging the extraction of oil and gas and the expansion of those industries. you mentioned that. does that mean you get some sense that maybe some of the developed countries might be moving backwards? our government in the uk has opened a new licensing round in the north sea, we could see a new coalmine. absolutely. it is alarming, it is inconsistent with the promises that the uk government and others have made to keep climate change at a safe limit. more to the point, in the last year, because of the war in ukraine, we have seen what the true cost

of our dependency on oil and gas is. we are feeding the russian war machine every time we use oil and gas, that is exported from russia. gas has quadrupled in price and that is making energy unaffordable for many millions of people in the uk. there are twin very powerful driving imperatives for us to move away from oil and gas as quickly as possible. the uk government has just announced a new licensing round for oil and gas in the north sea. it is considering approving a massive new oilfield which is three times the size of the controversial cambo oil field that didn't go through last year. it is really hard to reconcile what the government is doing on the one hand about needing to address climate change and doing the right thing by millions of people who are in fuel poverty and what they are doing in terms of their active supports for oil and gas extraction. at the moment we are seeing

the floods in pakistan, the drought in somalia, when it comes to developed countries promising help to developing countries, there is a long history of that, isn't there? do you think in this meeting there will be a sense of trust that is discussed here? absolutely. there is a long history, it has been many years that countries have been promising to provide that funding and they haven't managed to do it at the scale that was promised. developing countries are mistrusting of those sorts of promises and gestures. that is what it is going to be an issue at this cop27, africa is exceptionally vulnerable to the impacts of climate change but it is a continent that's responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. it is not its fault that it is suffering the impacts and it is up to rich countries that have benefited historically from burning oil, gas and coal that they help them survive those

impacts and are supported to develop away from fossil fuels.
